http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/frombind.html explains in detail how to move a
typical site from BIND to djbdns, and how to make BIND-style changes to
your djbdns data. The procedure includes tests to confirm that the data
published by BIND matches the data that will be published by djbdns.

The page also explains several ways that djbdns can help you manage your
data: automatic serial numbers, combined A and PTR records, automatic
final dots, etc.

Software maintenance is certainly an issue for buggy packages like BIND.
It isn't an issue for djbdns: the software simply works.
